If they wanna make a ridiculous action movie, go for it, don't make the action scenes too shaky, that's all I want

    Michael Bay has reached the Apex of his niche in his craft. His camerawork is just god-tier. All those trademark panning, rotating and tracking shots spliced together if done by a lesser action director should have left me nauseous but Michael Bay just makes it mesmerizing.

    • @jimthar17
      @jimthar17 Před 2 lety +28

      Never forget that Bay revolutionized the action genre. There is nary an action movie since the release of Bad Boys that hasn't ripped him off. Gone in 60 Seconds, Crimson Tide, Enemy Of the State, Domino, the new Star Trek movies, Con Air, (basically ANY Bruckheimer movie since the original BB) Any and every car chase since 1996 has ripped him off. The low angle car chase thing is all Bay.There's a reason why the vehicle used to film them is called the Bay Buster.

      @@jd_alsobrook spoiler warning for others reading this comment
      During Eiza Gonzalez' introductory scene, she arrives at a really bad car crash. There's a girl stuck in a car seat with a pipe through her chest. Eiza's character is calm and rational through the whole process, and gets her taken care of. It's important to note that the only purpose of this scene was to show how great Eiza is at her job. She knows what to do, how to do it, and to showcase how she's able to remain calm and collected throughout the process. These are all traits her character excels at throughout the movie.
      Fast forward to the final act. Jake and YaYa have basically been forced by the police to reroute the ambulance towards a hospital. (multiple roadblocks and such, iirc). There's snipers posted up on the roof of the hospital, and they're ready to take a shot at Jake and only Jake, because he's the one responsible for everything that has transpired. Jake gets shot, and the swat team immediately pulls in. They knock this man who's bleeding out onto the ground, stomp on him, etc etc and let him bleed out right in front of a hospital. They arrest his brother YaYa, and take the wounded officer (who's been used as a hostage by the brothers for the entire film) to safety and get him proper medical treatment. This whole time, no one bothers to ask where the EMT who saved the officers life is at, or more importantly, where's the money these brothers threw away their livez trying to get?
      Somehow, in a crowd of like 100 cops, 50 reporters, and hundreds of citizens, no one noticed a girl sneaking into the van and making out with a dufflebag full of money.
      This next scene feels likes its from an entirely different movie altogether. The whole scene takes like 5-10 minutes long and it's basically just still shots the entire time. This movie was a super fast paced action movie, but for some reason they decided to end it with 5 minute long stills. Eiza walks into the hospital, steals a folder from the medical files when the nurse walks away, then heads to a different floor. She gets to the little girl's room (the one from the beginning of the movie), and just looks at her for like 3-4 minutes, not moving the entire time. Then she drops a huge wad of cash next to her bed and walks out, moves to a different city with the remaining millions of dollars.
      There's so much wrong here. One, I get that Jake's character was a criminal that would most likely get a life sentence, but still, why would the cops just stomp on him when he's bleeding? Why wouldn't they take him inside?? Second, how does no one notice a girl making off with millions of dollars???

    I’d give this the “buy it on 4K blu ray” rating. Despite its absurd qualities, the writing is surprisingly smart. The writer weaved actual character development and heartfelt moments into the non-stop action.
    We barely have any time to see Bay’s weaknesses as a director because it’s so fast-paced. But he still made time for character beats amidst the chaos. I felt strong emotions throughout the entire ride, and if that’s not successful filmmaking, I don’t know what is.

    Pleasantly entertaining perfectly sums up this film, although it felt tad long. I'd have preferred if 30 - 45 minutes were left on the cutting room floor and they didn't bother with some characters that are introduced in and around past the halfway mark, but the film was a good time. The action is unrelenting from when it hits and the driving sequences for the most part were well executed, but some of the cinematography was annoying (those shots where the camera spins in and out of focus oŕ zooms either in or out of shot at like 200 miles an hour) and the humour for the most part misses it's mark. Performances were a mixed bag but with the female paramedic being the bright spark here. Generally though the film exceeded my expectations, I thought it was good. Had this been released during proper blockbuster season though this would have died in the stampede. They did the right thing releasing this just before.
    6/10 for me, but would recommend this to everyone once it hits streaming services. It's worth a watch, you'll have fun with it if you haven't seen it yet.

      @parasoul_omar Před 2 lety

      @Gregory Jenkins That's correct. I honestly thought the film was going to be terrible, so it very well exceeded expectations there. Again I thought it was a fun time. It wasn't great, but I thought it was good. Regarding my comment about being happy it didn't come out during blockbuster season, I said that because I feel it would have been one of the weaker releases (with films like Bullet Train coming during the Summer, to name just one film) and I reckon it would've tanked. I haven't checked to see how much money Ambulance has made so far globally, but I'd be willing to bet the decision to release this movie now has given it a higher chance of obtaining a degree of financial success, whereas I don't think it would've done if it was competing with upcoming movies like Bullet Train. If Universal were deciding to release it within the next few weeks, it would then be competing with The Northman (the more I see of The Northman, the more I'm backing it to end up as this year's FOTY) and Operation Fortune. Even a week ago, if Ambulance had come out then, it would have competed with Morbius (OK, that isn't much stern resistance tbh) and Sonic The Hedgehog 2! Blockbuster season I'd say has just properly kicked off, and I reckon if Ambulance had come out around now, it wouldn't have survived amongst the competition, so yep, I'm happy they decided to release it a couple weeks ahead of all of these other films coming out 😊

    Okay this is SO cool. I work for the factory that made the ambulance in this movie, this is so surreal! I helped build one of those ambulances, maybe even the one in the movie!

    Jake Gyllenhaal yelling and talking fast is always a win

    Your review was awesome as always Jay, but I really got a kick outta hearing you say "Yahya Abdul-Mateen II" at the start of the review. I can't believe you didn't fumble it once! 😂😂😂

    I give it 11/10 I thought I knew what was going on and then boom💥left turn..I felt a strange connection to jake's character like I wanted him to win...he was determined to make it home and I bought into that idea with him.The ending broke my heart..was not expecting the twist nor was I prepared 💔 😕 Go see it. Immediately!!

    Jeremy, please review RRR. Just saw it last night and I feel like it’s right up your alley!!!

    I think the most pleasantly surprised I've been with a Michael Bay film has to have been Pain & Gain. I saw the trailer for this a few months back and I don't know what it was about it, but it shot straight to the top of my "need to see in theaters" list. Thanks for the review, it sounds great, and I'll be watching it in 1 hour!

    Hyperbole is a legitimate trope. It just has to be handled nimbly confidently and even elegantly. It seems that is MB' s signature. Much needed booster shot in these depressing times. Loved it.

    It's important to me personally that you review Everything, Everywhere, All At Once Jeremy

    My favorite one is Armageddon and then bad boys 2. And 13 hours was really good.
